Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

125: A proposal from the Spirit King

"I mean, we're always together..."

"Hmm? Who isn't?

There is Siuba Prutis, the pervert butler, who is a companion of the Spirit in the sun. Tell me you've been with me for at least six months.

"Hmm, I heard from Shishi that I saw him in the duel...."

He is roaring with a difficult face.

(Looks like there's something wrong.)

I have heard from Siuba that he is a spirit with faults.

I thought there was some sort of problem with ordinary spirits, but I still think there is something.

"Sishi, listen again. Isn't he right?

"There's no doubt about it. It is also a matter of thorough consultation with Siuba."

Hoozuki exhales in a cruising mood with no false words.

"My lord, may I call you Hiro?

Call me whatever you want.

"Hmm, Hyiro, how far does he tell you about himself?

"I barely heard anything else. It's just a flaw."

"Hmm, then it's not like the chicken talks about it in detail."

"I don't mind. I don't have a hobby of listening by force. All I want to know is if he didn't report it."

I can presume that perhaps there was no such thing, but I decided to confirm it.

That's right. I haven't heard from him for a long time. I was surprised to hear of him. "

For so long, Siuba seems to have lived a life cut off from this place, which should be said to be her home.

I see. Then that's fine. I'm not interested in his past. If he wants to talk, he'll talk to me. "

It doesn't matter if we refuse.

"... I see, so much so. If he's going to have a good time right now, maybe that's it."

I told him to look distant, but the words felt like remorse.

I don't know what happened between this Hoozuki and Shiuba, but I felt that there might have been something out of the ordinary.

"Well, if I were to say just one word, it would mean that he and his wife are unique best friends....."

Being his best friend isn't in the past, so at least he thinks about Siuba.

I don't know how Siuba feels about him, but seeing that he hasn't been in touch, Siuba was able to determine that he was at a distance.

"Well, that's fine with him. Is that the only reason you called me here?

If you're done, I'd like to go home.

"Uh-huh! Are you leaving already? Are you leaving already?

I completely forgot that there was a noisy one.

As for the Japanese colour, I wanted to go home because [Spirit Forest] had no business anymore.

But strangely, when Nicki and Camus got along with Orn and the spirits, they were worried about what to do.

"Hyiro, why don't you give me a minute to get back there? I can't come here for a while. Isn't this a good experience?

There was a sigh of abandonment in such a whisper.

Hoozuki's idea is easy to guess.

I suppose you want to retain a little for the spirits who are delighted by the rare visitors and the Fairy Queen who visited here.

It was a treat, and I honestly feel good now. And Camus seemed happy, so I had no choice but to stay for a while.

Besides, Lord, you seem to have beaten Sishi, but do you know the truth of the Spirit?

"Does the truth mean you can be human like you are now? And isn't it true that human spirits are different in strength?

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, did you know? Did you ask Siuba?

"That's it."

"... I see."

With an emotional look,

"Siuba seems to like you a lot."

The expression is fainting happily while rubbing my beard.

I can judge by the current exchange, but I know that the connection between the two is not just dark as hatred.

"There are few who can manifest the spirit of the human form. The Beast King still doesn't have enough refinement."

"Dear Hoozuki, Leowood is a masterpiece recognized by the awkward monk. I believe that the true appearance of the awkward monk can be revealed."

It seemed a little frustrating, so you probably didn't want to take the word of Hoozuki, who criticized Leowood.

"Ho ho ho, sorry. No, I believe that. Within that Beast King, there is a soul connection with the Lord that flows far from ancient times. Then you will surely be able to reveal it."

Shishi nods satisfactorily.

"But now the Beasts are surprised. That bracelet is really well made."

"... Wristband? You mean" The Unknown Bracelet "?

That's right.

It's a tool to use Costume . Even a beast who can't use magic because of this can fight the "Magus Clan" properly.

"That's not a big deal. It's a substitute for waking up the power of spirits sleeping in your own soul. Who created it is truly a genius."

Glued glasses create an atmosphere that cannot be called a genius, but the "Spirit King" is right to admit that it is a genius.

"Can I ask you one question?

I was a little worried about it, so I'll ask.

"What is it?

"I know that the roots of the Wesen are spirits and used to be called 'Spirit Beasts'. The Bracelet is meant to bring out the power to phenomenon your Spirit Soul, right?

Well, that's a lot of knowledge.

Actually, I just remembered what Larasik told me.

"But you can turn Spirit Soul into a phenomenon, even without the Armband."

"... well, that's true."

If it is a force that is originally asleep in itself, it will be able to pull it out without the Bracelet.

It is the effect of the Bracelet that creates a situation that only acts like a booster and is easily manifested.

"Spirits are created in this [Spirit Forest] when you are aware of the Spirit Soul in yourself."

It seems that when the Beast draws out the power of the spirits sleeping inside himself, it becomes a phenomenon here. In other words, I am not signing a contract with the spirit that exists here from the beginning.

It means that the Beast's Spirit Soul will only come here as a phenomenon.

"Does that mean that the spirits here are somebody's own power?

Theoretically, that's what happens. But Hoozuki shook his neck sideways.

"No, some of them were born naturally. I don't think so, either."

It seems that the power of nature can gather and become a spiritual superior like a hoozuki.

"But the lion was born here when the Beast King used the Bracelet to turn Spirit Soul into a reality."

"That's right. Leowood is a monk. My monk is Leowood."

It means they're connected.

"Hmm? Does being connected mean that if you die, the Beast King dies?

"No, even if it's connected, it's part of the soul. Even if the spirits disappear, they will be born here again in time."

I see.

"Except for the Beast."

"... what do you mean?

It seems that the Spirit can be revived here over time, even if it is killed by the opponent's attack, if there is even a contracted opponent.

But if the beast that reveals it dies, it will never be resurrected again. Literally leads to complete death.

"What does it mean to have someone?

"Spirits born out of nature, such as pigeons and tents, do not have wedges that can be retained in this world. If you die, you lose the power to connect and disappear from this world."

"I see. Are fairies the same?

Ask Ninniahu, who is listening in silence next door.

"Well, the fairy doesn't have a contract with anyone. The concept of death is the same as that of a person. Once you're dead, you're dead."

Apparently, the enclosure "Spirit Clan" is the same, but the two are obviously different.

"I see. Well, wouldn't it be better for a naturally born spirit to make a deal with someone? How many times do I have to die to keep my contractor alive?

Then Hoozuki has a difficult face.

"That's a hard story to tell."

"Why?

"Do you have any idea why the Beast can't make a deal with other spirits like you?

"............... maybe you can't contract twice?

The Spirit originally resides in the Beast.

That's why they rebelled even if they tried to make a deal with other spirits.

"But then, it's difficult to ask whether" human race "or" demon race "is true."

"Really?

Certainly, if you do not have the power of the Spirit, you can think of it as the subject of a contract, but in the first place, there is no one with enough vessels to accept the power of the Spirit.

Originally, there was only one soul vessel per person.

Apart from the beast's original possession of the power of the Spirit, one vessel usually cannot contain two souls.

Even if forced, the vessel can't stand its size and screams, and if bad, there is a risk that the mind will collapse.

Especially now, the "Human race" and the "Magus race" do not trust the "Spirit race". Contracts are also a force of trust. In this situation, it seems like a dream such as a contract.

The power of the Spirit is enormous, and if it is used, it becomes a great power.

That's why the Spirit Clan can't empower the current "Human Clan" and "Magus Clan".

Because it is clearly visible that the force is exercised in the wrong direction.

War - Can't give you the power to fight such barren battles.

(Well, that's a natural reason. Especially if the human king knew about this, he would have definitely used it... hmm?

That's where I wondered.

"Hey, can you tell me something so important?

I am also a person who participated in the war and I think it must be a "human race". I told such an important story and wondered if I didn't think someone would take me apart.

Then Niyaniya and Hoozuki burst with laughter. I have a very bad feeling about something.

"Hyiro, you sure you can use Red Air?

"Ah, ahh...."

And what happened was, when I pointed my mouth a little bit,

Hiro, why don't you make a deal with someone else?

I've made unexpected suggestions.

What are you talking about?

Suddenly, Hoozuki asked me if I would sign a contract with the Spirit, and I was stunned. Even Ninniahu is hardened by his words and deeds.

But Hoozuki said the same word again in support of the previous one.

"It's not a contract. With the spirits here."

"... what do you mean? From what I've just said, isn't the vessel too small to be possible in a normal" human race "or" demon race "?

I'm sorry that I signed a contract with the Spirit and was crushed by its power to become a cripple.

"Certainly, a normal person can't bear the burden and will suffer the death of his spirit. However, it's just a matter of being normal."

"... explain it to me"

"What a simple story. Being able to handle Red Air means you are good at controlling two different forces. Originally," Red Qi "could only be produced by people with half... that is, two kinds of souls."

I know that. Some knowledge has flowed into my head when I released the literature and "Four Characters Unlocked."

"It's very difficult to mix so many different forces... or it's not normal. But halves were originally born with that kind of control."

"I know that. What I want to hear is why I'm not half, and I only have one soul vessel."

Hoozuki exhales long while rubbing his beard.

"... the Lord, who is supposed to be a pure human being, handles Red Qi. That means they have the same qualities as halves."

"... hmm? Wait a minute, so halves can easily contract spirits?

From what I have just said, I can infer that this is the view.

"What if there's no beast in the blood?"

"... I see. Even half-blooded beasts can't make a new deal because they have spirits to sleep with?

"Exactly. But it's not possible for a man and a demon half. Not everyone can contract, of course. It's only for people skilled enough to handle Red Air."

"I see. That's quite an interesting story."

In other words, Half has been despised as "forbidden."

That's because neither magic nor Costume gave them anything. Exactly heterogeneous. That's why they hated me.

But there was light in such a half-life. That's Red Air. Simply put, the control of power stands out and works well.

And if you can handle such a Red Air, you can make a powerful Spirit Contract.

If we could make a deal with "high spirits" like Siciliana and Yukiosa, it would be possible for half to jump out of other species and rise up.

(Well, it's interesting how long and short each is. But I still think of the pale faces of the half-exclusionists who heard this story.)

I met these people on my journey. I've been told that half is a poor, filthy species with nothing. It is said that the half-half Chamoe has been disgusted with such experiences in the past.

But in reality, halves certainly had the power to act as halves.

Of course, nothing can be done without nurturing that power, but it is a big difference just to be able to get away from the zero notion that there is nothing.

"... well, that's fine with half. I'm not even half-half. How can I really make a deal?"

I am worried because I have not asked what will happen because I have signed a contract.

"Why can't you believe what the Spirit King says?

"Can I trust someone I just met?"

I want you to go to sleep. If you can trust someone who hasn't had much conversation yet, we're crazy.

"Ho ho ho, that's also true. Let's give it a try."

With that said, he slowly stepped toward us.

As the sun rose in the same way, Nicki and the others turned their gaze.

"I don't suppose it's you or something?

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, I don't want to do that."

"Isn't it?

"I don't have enough power to keep the contract in my current position...."

I could see Ninniahu making a similar expression when she saw him say he was a little lonely. Apparently there are profound circumstances, but it doesn't matter there, so I will change the story.

"Well, if you can make a deal, who will make a deal with me? I don't suppose you're not the snake bitch I saw earlier?

She said with an unpleasant expression. Somehow, I feel like it doesn't go well with jade. Face-to-face is likely to develop into an argument.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, I'd be happier if I were you."

Oh, come on.

"Don't worry. I'm not dealing with you."

I feel a little relieved to hear the words. If I sign up with Jaime and stay with her forever, she'll be able to whisper more than Lillin.

But if it wasn't for her...

"Then who is it?

"I'm not the Ten here."

He put his hand on the head of a dazed monkey while saying so. Apparently he didn't approach himself, he approached Ten.

"... hee, hee!? Oh, me!?

Apparently, Ten's face was distorted in dismay because of the water in his sleeping ears.

"What don't you like? You said you wanted to go out and bloom."

"Eh... ah, no... that's right..."

While looking at us with flickers, I'm observing it as worthwhile.

Besides, there may not be such opportunities in the future?

"Uhh...."

"Besides, this Hyiro is probably a rare masterpiece in the world, right?

Ugh ~

"I thought you were feeling thin."

……

I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me so much, but I have something to say to you.

"Hey, I didn't say I'd make a deal yet.

"Hmm, don't you like it?

"Tell me first what happens when you sign a contract, not when you don't want to..."

I wouldn't be able to catch my eye if I fused with a monkey like this.

"Oh, that's right. What do you think of the contract in the first place?

"Don't answer the question with a question... okay. A contract... you can handle spirits like a king of beasts?

In other words, I think that as an image, I can use the power of attributes and call the Spirit itself.

But in response, Hoozuki shook his head and denied it.

"No, that's not what the Beasts meant by the contract. The Wesen are only demonstrating their original power. But in this contract, the main person must first present what will be the intermediary."

"Mediation?"

In other words, when it is replaced by Japanese and Ten, the Japanese first presents something in their possession, and the products are stamped with a blood mark as a sign of the contract with each other. And through that blood, life and magic begin to flow simultaneously.

What you should be aware of here is that you have exactly the same amount of power as each other.

And he that maketh the power of the LORD mixeth it in balance. Simply put, synthesize. If it is successfully synthesized, the Spirit will be able to support it as a host.

"I see. If I can synthesize each other's power through that intermediary, then the contract will be concluded."

I see. And the mediation becomes a wedge that connects the contractor and the Spirit. "

"What if I fail?

"Well, if you're unlucky, you'll just die. Ah, and the intermediary will disappear."

Say something stupid.

It's not just dying. It's not just dying!

But if you succeed, you'll get something that harbors the power of the Spirit.

If it's a high spirits, it might be worth a try.

Combining the two forces will require considerable concentration. Sure enough, I can't lose consciousness even when producing Red Air. However, "Red Qi" is only my own strength.

Contracts must share power with others and require more difficulty. I understand the reason why it is not easy to contract.

"I forgot to tell you, but I don't think it's okay to mediate anything.

"Hmm? Really?

"Well, that's for the Spirit to decide, but it's probably something that the Lord cares about or likes."

I see.

Listen to that and remember what happened to your belongings. But at that time,

"That sword!

Everyone sends a line of sight to the person who made the statement.

"What is that sword, Ten?

Hoozuki listens on behalf of the questions that everyone cares about.

"No, so if I'm going to make a deal with him, I want that sword!

Apparently, what he is pointing to is "The Sword of Zengaki."

"From that sword comes your will. That sword would go well with me!

"Well, that's what Ten says, how about Hyiro? Why don't you give it a try?

"But wait a minute."

And Ten said, "Break it up."

"What's wrong?

"This isn't about coercion, is it?

When Ten asked Hoozuki, he nodded clearly.

"Of course not. I was just wondering if you were fit to be in this."

Ten nodded back and stared at the color of the day.

"Sure, I'll go outside and run wild. But I don't think I'll ever give my life to a bastard."

…………

Looking back at Ten's eyes. Her eyes are serious and she doesn't feel any starch.

"Then what do we do?

Ten said this when he pointed to the color of the sun.

"I'll see if you deserve my lord! So fight me, you fucking glasses!

That's what I learned in my heart. I know what he's saying. You don't want to make a deal with someone who can't help it. A contract would refer to something so heavy for them.

Therefore, it is natural to judge here that even if the sun color does not come true to the temple glasses and the temple does not stick out, it is better than to the boring Lord.

After all, I thought you would say that you would sign a contract with momentum because you are such a stupid monkey, but it seems that you had a part that impressed you.

That's why I unexpectedly saw a small presence and got a little surprised.

Moreover, it may be difficult to gain the power of the Spirit.

In the battle against Shisilega, the Spirit that houses the Magic Nullification , I have been searching for the breakthrough and found the Tai Red Summon Monster . If the Spirit can help me, maybe I can quickly grasp the trick of wearing the Tai Red Summon Monster .

After all, it seems that the Spirit is also familiar with "Red Air", so it is judged that it would be more advantageous to keep this contract.

It is a little surprising that the opponent is a penis monkey, but he must also be a high spiritual.

Besides, the fact that the "Spirit King" recognizes him means that he suits himself.

In any case, it may be an honor for the head of the Seeing Species to stand together. Then I decided to make sure that my contract with this monkey succeeded.

"... interesting. I'll leave you alone, you monkey!

Sparks scatter with one person and one eye. I don't feel like I'm going to stop the flapping.

"Fighting, yes, but within the boundaries that the pigeon makes."

Hoozuki led the way to a fairly open place.

Some of the sharks were supposed to have left because they had some business to attend to, and I asked why they were here. Answering that, the jade breathed into the sun with astonishment.

"A human contract... if you succeed, you'll die.

"Shut up. I'll do whatever it takes."

Whether it is the power of the Spirit or "Tai Red Suit", I will bring myself to life if there is nothing I cannot do.

When Hoozuki raises his hands to the sky, the blue magic spreads in a hemispherical shape.

"You can have your first drink in here."

Apparently, within this boundaries, the broken spot could be repaired in an instant.

In fact, it was a Japanese secret that I felt that I wanted the power of Hoozuki's union rather than the power of the Spirit.

Anyway, I'm not going to lose any more than to fight. I don't know how strong a monkey is, but I must recognize that it is as strong as that Shishiraiga.

However, regardless of the opponent, we have the all-purpose Character Magic. Whatever attack the opponent makes, they can win if they don't fight the wrong way.

In such a battle mood, Hoozuki said surprising things.

"Oh, by the way, you can't use magic within the boundaries?
